Look what I found on a man’s hat at Sam’s Club this afternoon:
The button says,
He fights for you
Stand by LOU!

By “fights for you . . . ” – does he mean other indicted politicians? Funny, I saw the same kind’a blind support for Blago too.
If he would only manage his employees competently then we could all feel safer.
Since Lou hasn’t been in charge of his own department it has gone completely off the rails under the management of his underlings. He is a good man Peter Principled in his current position and deserves a quiet retirement in Florida with his lovely wife away from the cares and worries of even thinking about screwing up the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s office with his laissez faire style of management any longer.
Please step aside sir and take the employee you didn’t banish to the hinterlands with you. He needs to be WAY away from the legal world as well. In your walk out of the building you may want to ask him why he managed your office into the ground and why he abused your trust and good name so badly.
It is a Greek Tragedy over there and neither you nor the county deserve the treatment we are getting but it is time for it to stop.
Lets put the utter mismanagement of the SA office into perspective: When Louis Bianchi took office the SA office had 25 full time ASA positions. Currently the number now stands at 29 full time positions some six years later. In the time that Louis Bianchi has been in charge at the SA office no less than 40 full time ASAs have left the office. By the end of term in 2012, Louis Bianchi may be looking at almost 200% turnover for two terms in office. WOW, that’s right almost 200% turnover in professional staff. Do you think there may be some problems there?
LOUdicrous. He screws YOU (taxpayers and voters). Toss out LOU!
SA office is a starting point for lawyers. Salaries are low. They get experience and move on.
I started in McDonalds and the pay was VERY low. Would this excuse me poisoning the customers?
There are many many professional men and women who choose the life of a Public Defender or State’s Attorney and stay for many years because it offers them an outlet for service above self/money. I know they would be insulted by such a flip answer.
I’m begging you to please be better than this. I have seen you state some very well thought out responses and then you say things like this… Please try harder EM. You are smarter than you let on in this response.
The two people who ran the SA’s office into the ground and actually harmed the public by committing felonies on Lou’s “watch” were very highly paid and have many years of experience. The children following their orders were as duped as Lou but had no power to do anything about it, unlike Lou, so they quit. Thus the high turnover. It had to do with their character dictating they must leave to protect themselves from criminal elements in the SA’s office, not the pay.
Since when is the salary of an ASA considered low?
Funny but the McHenry County Public Defender’s office has far lower salaries and far lower turn over among it’s professional staff.
Not to mention the fact that the Cook County ASA turn over rate was around 18% per annum and that was considered high which prompted the Cook County SA Dick Devine to devise new and improved methods of keeping professionals in the office.
How do you think that compares to the approximately 100% per annum turnover in the McHenry County SA Office?
That’s right the turn over rate in the McHenry County SA Office is five times greater than neighboring Cook County.
Clearly, all is not well under Lou Bianchi’s administration.
Someone is surely fighting over at the SA Office, and it ain’t Lou – its the ASAs fighting to find the door.
